The hotel itself is stunning
The Kimpton BEM is a true gem! It is easily one of the best Kimpton's we have ever stayed at. The rooms are quiet and very spacious. The hotel itself is stunning with its Hungarian forest and water theming. Everyone is so friendly and the concierge Miklos went over and beyond by highlighting the outstanding local wine collection at the hotel and even went so far as to give us a wonderful tasting. These were some of the best wines of our vacation. The restaurant, AGOS, was outstanding and the hotel's daily breakfast was delicious. This is a must stay if you are planning a trip to Budapest!
